Biohacking Humanity’s Future – One Community Weekly Progress Update #245

The time has come for biohacking humanity’s future! Working together as a species has never been easier and the needed technology exists. We can co-create a sustainable planet if we want to. One Community is open sourcing all the components as a starting point and prototype set including sustainable food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more.

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology
  
• Here’s how this becomes self-replicating
• Here’s how we are open source and free-sharing all the do-it-yourself designs

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD HOUSING PROGRESS

One Community is biohacking humanity’s future through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:

• • • Learn about: Our Upcoming Crowdfunding Campaign
    • Learn about the different village models: 7 Sustainable Village Models
    • Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

The core team continued Sketchup design for the open source outdoor areas of the Recycled Materials Village (Pod 6). This week we updated the storage rack and added a border to the Scrabble game, designed a Four-In-a-Row Yard Game, a ping pong table, and began designing the children’s playground. You can see all of these shown here.
